lyrics

he said “well you only like me when i’m not around”
i said “no you only like ME when I’M not around”
i woke up right as we kissed to the snoring sound
of his best friend lying on my ground
he reached and held my hand and said it’s ok
i said i wanna date eliza i just wish i was gay
then i was walking around later that same day
saw some other sad sacks on the street and said hey
he said “well you only like me when i’m not here”
in the dream it seemed so real i didn’t think it wouldn’t be real
of course it wasn’t real cause i don’t see him anymore
and he wouldn’t have said something like that cause he know its not true
he would have said something along the lines of you love me but i don’t love you
he said i only liked him when he wasn’t around
couldn’t get it out of my head because it didn’t make sense
i cried to myself thinking i lost a prince
i thought to myself and since then i’ve been thinking about writing him a letter
found a letter to my brother that he had forgotten
i wonder if he forgot my letters? or if he still has that rock?
what a waste of a rock
what a waste of a thought
